1 Even Boxer, who seldom asked questions, was puzzled.
2 No question, now, what had happened to the faces of the pigs.
3 The stupidest questions of all were asked by Mollie, the white mare.
4 Apart from the disputes over the windmill, there was the question of the defence of the farm.
5 At the Meeting on the following Sunday the question of whether or not to begin work on the windmill was to be put to the vote.
6 In future all questions relating to the working of the farm would be settled by a special committee of pigs, presided over by himself.
7 It had come to be accepted that the pigs, who were manifestly cleverer than the other animals, should decide all questions of farm policy, though their decisions had to be ratified by a majority vote.
8 The animals were not certain what the word meant, but Squealer spoke so persuasively, and the three dogs who happened to be with him growled so threateningly, that they accepted his explanation without further questions.
9 Frederick, it was said, intended to bring against them twenty men all armed with guns, and he had already bribed the magistrates and police, so that if he could once get hold of the title-deeds of Animal Farm they would ask no questions.
